17:54 <noocsharp> has adding a '-e' option to foot ever been discussed?

17:56 <noocsharp> swaynag seems to assume that terminal emulators have '-e', so it fails if $TERMINAL is set to foot

18:02 <noocsharp> tbh not sure whether it's a problem with foot or sway for making that assumption

18:42 <lemontree> what does that do? exec things?

18:43 <noocsharp> yeah, `foot -e foo` should do the exact same thing as `foot foo`

18:44 <noocsharp> it's just some programs and scripts assume that the terminal has a '-e' option for doing these things, i believe it comes from xterm

18:48 <lemontree> i'm not an foot developer but i'd agree this would be sensible to prevent breakage

19:42 <Arnavion> Why on earth does it spawn a terminal

19:43 <Arnavion> >-b, --button <text> <action> Create a button with text that executes action in a terminal when pressed. Multiple buttons can be defined.

19:43 <Arnavion> Yeesh

19:49 <noocsharp> yeah, not sure why

19:49 <noocsharp> maybe for i3 compatibility

19:54 <Arnavion> Yes https://build.i3wm.org/docs/i3-nagbar.html

19:55 <Arnavion> If you're just trying to solve a problem for yourself, use -B instead?

20:23 <sterni> noocsharp: tl;dr it's not consistently implemented across all emulators, so it makes little sense to add to foot until there is a standard way to invoke a terminal emulator with a command https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/184#issuecomment-150624

20:23 <sterni> see the thread for a wrokaround if you can't reconfigure swaynag

22:07 <noocsharp> Arnavion: ah nice, thansk

22:36 <noocsharp> weird, i3 uses -B in its default config, but sway doesn't
